FLIGHT, 30 April 1954 A FOOT OPERATED BRAKE with a difference you can feel The illustrations show the PALMER foot rest and operating pedal unit and the complete rudder bar assembly. Foot-operated braking is now obligatory for aircraft ordered for the R.A.F. and the Fleet Air Arm. The PALMER TOE PEDAL BRAKE CONTROL, C73, operates pneumatically and is designed for supply pressures up to 450 p.s.i. delivering a brake line pressure up to 300 p.s.i. A unique feature of this PALMER BRAKE CONTROL is a built-in feed back, which transmits to the toe pedal a load proportionate to the pressure being delivered to the brakes. This gives an all-important " feel " to the pedal and pilots are thus instantly aware of the degree of braking being applied. Equal braking is obtained on port and starboard wheels by equal foot pressure on the pedals attached to the rudder bar. Differential action is obtained by variation of foot pressure on individual pedals. mer TOE PEDAL BRAKE CONTROL, C73 THE PALMER TYRE LIMITED. PENFOLD STREET. EDGWARE ROAD. LONDON.
